@flightsimstuff: A helicopter pilot at Truckee Tahoe Airport had a terrifying moment on September 28 after reporting that he had lost his tail rotor and needed to land immediately. Despite having to go around on his first attempt, the pilot stayed calm and safely got the helicopter on the ground. ATC’s response said it all: “Amazing flying.” (Flightradar24 📷) (ATC.com🔈)

no tail rotor essentially means you are turning yourself into a one big plan propeller to fly, so odds are he is at a crazy angle and flying FAST

Helicopters can fly straight over a certain speed. The tail rotor is critical at low speeds. He would have had to skid and glide in to stay above the speed that would cause him to spin around violently
